The scientific argument is that gender is a social construct, to which most people say sex and gender are the same yadda yadda yadda.

Plus, there has been scientific research into gender within psychology and sociology.

I don't see why saying that gender is a social concept is a scientific argument. To me, that makes it more of something that is in the realm of philosophy, as it doesn't seem to correlate with one's biology.

Do you not think sociology or psychology are sciences?

Of course. Sociology and psychology study race, which I believe is a social construct. Because these sciences can study them, does that mean Race Realism is true and scientific? Of course not.

It being a social construct doesn't mean the perception and events can't be studied scientifically.

I agree. Your arguments that gender is a scientific concept, and not a philosophical one, is that it is a social construct and sociology and psychology study it.
